Don\'t you just hate having to traipse to the supermarket on a hungover Sunday afternoon to get the weekly shop before Monday? Well, we think there might suddenly be more of an incentive. We wandered up and down some of the UK\'s biggest beauty supermarket aisles to bring you our favourite , rather affordable I might add, beauty gems to pop into your basket for a little pick me up on the food run...
Tesco\'s own slice of nature

bottle of tesco b nautral cleanser and bottle of tesco b natural toner
We love the Tesco BNatural range of organic products - supermarkets are really going ‘green\' and it\'s fantastic. This range covers skincare, hair care and body care with all ingredients 95% organic or higher. As you would expect from Tesco, it adopts the philosophy of honest, great value, natural skincare. No harmful formulations, artificial colours and certainly no testing on animals. We love the Organic Cream Cleanser and Organic Revitalising Toner which uses cucumber extracts to refresh and witch hazel to soothe. It\'s a great way to start your beauty routine every day and especially if you\'re looking to switch to the natural side of beauty on a budget.

tube of champneys spa aqua therapy moisture rich firming body lotion sold at sainsburys
Renowned British Spa Champneys branched into the health and beauty world in 2004 and did not disappoint. Setting up an exclusive partnership with Sainsbury\'s meant us spa loving girls could buy their products with our food shopping and extend that spa haven to home. With everything from luxurious bubble baths, foot creams, body scrubs and face masks, it\'s hard to know where to start. Aqua Therapy , one of the newest ranges, has been inspired by the Champneys thalassotherapy pools. They use active marine ingredients to tone your body, a 24-hour hydrating complex and re-balancing minerals found in France. Who knew that spa beauty had come so far... once tried, hard to go back.
